What They Think.

Edmund Rice, Jr.-The market has
been very quiet and sales limited.
Bacon & COleman-We have had a
however, made a number of sales out
Rice street. That part of town is look
ing up.
Bristol & LOomis-With US the in
quiry has been good and the market
active. We have made number of
sales.
Oppenheim & Kahlman-The market

Col. James ii. Observation-Disclosures has
been fair during the week, with a good
demand for business property. Prices
remain firm, and the indications are
that sales will soon multiply.
IngerSoll IL Camden-There has been
considerable inquiry for good business
property, and for property on ST. An
thony hill and Dayton's bluff.
Charles F. Dunbar & Co.-Real estate
business is in good healthy condition,
proves there will be good deal of &C
tivity.
A. B. Wilgus-I see no reason to COM

500, and on st. Anthony hill have sold
over $1,000.
E. P. Miller-The only property 1 can
sell at present, comparatively speaking,

haven't much time for any other.
M. A. BigfOrd-There is good de-
mand for Rice street property, and we
have made several sales out there. Resi-
dence property is also improving.
w. E. BurtOn-1he main inquiry is
from parties who desire medium price

The Record.
YOUNG MAN, DON'T SMOKE.
A Physician Tells Plainly the Eff:
factS Of the Narcotic

A Physician Tells Plainly the Ell
fects of the Narcotic.
Regarding the evil effects of using to-
bacco, physician writes in the Science
of Health: 1t impairS the nervous func-
tons, rendering the person more eXcita-
BILE, more irritable, and subject to a long
train of nervous affections. 1t impairs
the nervous constitution and transmits
these impaired constitutions to children.
Such children are feeble, eXcitable and
liable to be cut off by any serious dis
ease. Often they do not thrive well, are
Stunted in growth, and do not attain to the
stature of their parents before them. If
they take up the habit of tObaccO-uSing
early in life, as very likely they will,
their growth will be still more inter-
fered with, and they will present
curious spectacle of the lineaments of
old age mingled with the features of
youth.
Already noticeable diminution of
the stature of our people is observable.
The general average of height is less
each generation. Men of full six feet
in stature are far less common in pro-
portion to the number of inhabitants
than they were thirty or fifty years ago.
A like falling off in height is Observa-
bic among the females. Among other
causes tobacco-using by the parents,
often continued from early youth, is a
prominent cause. 1t is cause that is
powerfully working the degeneracy of
the vital powers and arresting develop
ment.
This habit also exerts an influence
over the brain as we'll as over the
nerves. 1t Obscures the perception and
deadenS the SenSibility. Tobacco-uSing
students make less advancement than
others in their studies. The permanent
impairment of the intellectual powers
will be proportionate to the degree of
Indulgence and its duration. If con-
tinued through several generations there
can but result mental degeneracy.
Its excessive use impairs all the bodily
organs, arresting development and en-
feebling the natural powers; and its
direct tendency is to produce degener-
acy of the race. Already its work has
begun; and if not desisted from it will
complete its work, and ultimate ly leave
race of dwelling idiots. He who
loves his fellow man. let him raise his
voice against this foul practice.

THE CHLoROFoRM MYTH.
An Old Detective ExplOdes the
Familiar Belief in the Use of
ChIorOfOrm by BURGLARS.

All o1u DcteCCiVo FIXDlOueS the
Familiar Belief in the Use of
Chloroform by Burglars.
An old detective, in the employ of In
spector Byrnes, was telling Mail and
Express reporter blOOd-curdling tale
of midnight robbery.
''Why didn't the burglar chloroform
the man the moment he got into the
room%' inquired the reporter, you say
he was there half an hour before the
man woke up and captured him.
Don't | tell you that the man was
over six feet tall and as strong as bull,
while the burglar was only a boy sixteen
years old"
Yes, but what of that?"
''Did you ever see man chlOro-
formed?"
No"
''Will you go into a Doctors Office
sometime and see how it is done? I'm
less man is held down by force or sub
mits himself willingly to the operation
it is impossible to chloroform him.
Eyes; but this man was sound asleep"
What of that? Do you know how
long it takes to put man under the i'll
fluence of chOlOrOfOrm?"
ga minute or so, suppose"
"Two or three minutes rather, and the
first application of the drug is certain to
waken any living man who is not I'M
der the influence of some powerful mar
cotic. Before he had taken two whiffs
of the aneSthetic he would have been
wide awake, and the rObber would have
been captured half an hour earlier than
he was"
'But they do chloroform people some
times, don't they?" asked the reporter.
eff you refer to doctors, l would say
yes, but if you mean burglars / would
say no. l don't know single instance.
though the public and the press believe
there are many every month. / think |
can prove it you. Every case where
a man is chlOrofOrmed. according to his
own account of his adventure, he has
recovered. How often do you hear of
men dying under the influence of chic
reform when it is carefully administered
by a skilled physician? Very often in
deed. The chlOroform must be properly
mixed with fresh air, and even then
the experiment is often fatal. Now, do
you think that an ignorant burglar
could always avoid killing his victim?
Neither do nor any one else who has
given the subject a close study"
''No, SIR" added the detective in con =
clusiOn; Il tell you, chlOrOforming per-
SONS by thieves is myth and fraud.
1t is story originated by the victims to
add more startling flavor to their
yarns and to account more clearly for
their weak submission, which have
found is caused more by fear than chic
rOfOrm"

The Condition of the Market.

1t is agreed by all dealers that the
real estate market is far from active and
that sales are very slow. Furthermore
that there are no indications of any
immediate favorable change. 1t seems
to be expected that the market will re-
main about as it now is for some months,
probably till about the beginning of the
year. Dealers, that is the Oldest and
most experienced of those engaged in
the business, do not object to this, and
the general belief is that it would be
one of the best things that could happen
to the people of the city. 1t is argued
that many people during the year have
bought freely and, if not overloaded,
have all they ought 70 have at
present, and that it would
have healthy effect upon the
community 10 stop little, and give all
chance to settle up for, and place in
secure position, what has been bought
before buying more. This is the con-
servatlvc view, and it seems to be one
that will commend itsclfto the minds of
all good, prudent men. The market is
at present in a very healthy condition
indeed. Prices are

The fact that property in this

The extent of the rabbit Pest in Vic
toria may be co~mprehended from q recent
report of the United States consul gen.
eral. At least 12, 600, 900 acres have been
rendered almost useless and uninhabitable
through the damage caused by the rodent.
In one section, where 700, 900 sheep were
fed in 1875, less than 100, 900 found good
grass to eat in 1882, and the loss here, in
various ways in the last five years, has
been ut least $500, 600. The government
has spent about $40, 900 in efforts to rid
the country of the pest, the principal
means used being poisoned food, such us
phosphorized oats and wheat, bran and
chaff charged with arsenic and bisulphide
of carbon. There has also been offered a
bonus OF three pence a dozen on all skins
brought in to certain officers. The figures
show that 1884, 900 rabbits nave been
paid for under this offer.-Boston Trans

Yet the Turks--if they are not high
officials and nave not lived in Paris,
from which they take home its vices
only-tho Turks, l say, are neither
malicious, nor jealous, nor disloyal.
They are not intolerant, even, at least if
no outside cause comes to YOU their
pride. which is all the more touchy as it
has no justification. But the Turks are
haughty-very unconscious of it, how
evcr-and are ignorant to q degree that
they do not even suspect. Their fanatic
ism is never fired by the sight of an alien
creed, by public professions, by Chris
tan festivals; as far as they are con-
cerned, all this has no existence. They
pass to one side; they see it, but do not
look at it. Their fanaticism, which in
reality asks for nothing more than to be
allowed to slumber as they do themselves,
is awakened only by a wound to the
Mussulmanio pride, by a palpable and
visible insult given to their beliefs.
Christian priests a. traverse streets
with their insignia and their saeerdotal
costumes, preceded and followed by their
devotees, carrying banners, wax candles
and crosses, and singing with all their
might. The Turks would not get angry
at this any more than they would at a
procession of children with their dolls.
They even praise their musicians and
their drums at the funerals of bishops
and the professions of Corpus Christi,
and nothing is more curious than the
sight of Turkish soldiers, in full uniform,
following with the most profound re-
spect the crucifix and the holy sacra-
ment.
But let a Christian take it into his head
to enter one of their mosques without
their authority and without submitting to
all the ceremonial of Musselmanic humil-
ity, and they will drive him out in a
brutal manner. This is not intolerance;
1t is obedience to the principle that every
man is master of his own house; and we
may be certain that when the so-called
Turkish fanaticism has inflicted severe
punishment upon European scoffers, or
upon persons that are too inquisitive, it is
not always the Turk that began the quar-
rel between the disciple of Christ and the
follower of Mohammed.-M. Emile Jul

THE friends of the school management
are heartily supporting Messrs. Voorhees,
and Hicks, and they seem to be deter
mined to elect them again by as good a
majority as they got three years ago. AS
matters stand it would introduce an ele,
ment Of discord into the schools to elect
any others than these two gentlemen.
The board has been harmonious and unan-
imous for two years past. 1t is the IN.
terest and duty OF every citizen to vote on
Monday next. Vote as you think proper,
but reflect upon the prosperity and har-
mony of the school management, and then
see if your vote would not be better when
cast for Messrs. Voorhees, and Hicks.

Good Advice for Young Men.


And as for the men we respect, let them
give up a part of the time they spend in
money making to put on the polish that
may seem a superhuity, but which women
love, nevertheless, as they love all super
fiuitiesS A few tri6ing airs and graces, q
suayity of speech, q neatly turned compi-
ment, q profound bow-these are bago-
telles, it is true, but in their way they
work wonders and open a highway to the
hearts of the simpler and weaker sex that
has before been closed by gates of ida
mant. They are easily picked up in youth,
out the old tongue trips ~awkwardly over
honeyed words and phrases, and the stiff
old back at 40 odd can never achieve a
bow which is much better than mt at
all. Even the men of the Faubourg st.
Germain-every city has its Faubourg st.
Germain-think better of n for possess
ing these social embellishments, Inc there
is not in the world a talisman of such po-
tent magic as the nameless and irresistible
spell OF a charming n 1t ought to
beinnate, of course, but it can be in a great
measure acquired.
The plodders upon whom Dame Fortune
is turning a dawning smile may pause
awhile on the way. The smile and the
rood luck are sure to come, the brighter
and better for delay, and the young man
who looks forward to n day being o man

carly for the proud position he means to

The seven Bibles OF the world are the
Koran of the Mahommedans, the Eddas
of the Scandinavians, the Try Pitikes of
the Buddhists, the Five Kings Of the
Chinese, the three Vedas of the Hindoos,
the Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of the
Christians. The Koran is not older than
the seventh century of our era. The
Eddas of the Scandinavians were pub
lished in the eleventh century, and are
the most recent of these seven Bibles.
The Pitikes of the Buddhists contain sub
lime morals and pure aspirations; their au-
thor lived and died IN the seventh century
before Christ. The sacred writings Of
the Chinese are called the Five Kings,
''king' meaning web of cloth or the warp
that keeps the threads in their place.
They contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethicopoitical duties of life.
These sayings cannot be traced to a period
higher than the eleventh century B. G..
The three Vedas are the most ancient
books of the Hindoos, and it is the opin-
ion of Max Muller, Wilson, johnson and
Whitney that they are not older than
eleven centuries B. c. The Zendavesta
of the Persians is the grandest of all the
sacred books next to our Bible. Zoroaster,
whose sayings it contains, was born in the
twelfth century B.. C.-Boston Herald.
